Little plant, big city: a test of adaptation to urban environments in common ragweed (Ambrosia artemisiifolia). [PDF]
Proc Biol Sci, 2018 A full understanding of how cities shape adaptation requires characterizing genetically-based phenotypic and fitness differences between urban and rural populations under field conditions.

Biodiversity impacts of common ragweed
Julius-Kühn-Archiv, 2016 Ambrosia artemisiifolia causes agricultural losses and severe health problems. Whether the species also has a negative influence on plant species richness and the composition of the vegetation is a matter of ongoing debate. The question whether common ragweed impacts biodiversity or not is of great importance as this impact may be an additional motive ...

Modifiable Risk Factors for Common Ragweed (Ambrosia artemisiifolia) Allergy and Disease in Children: A Case-Control Study. [PDF]
Int J Environ Res Public Health, 2018 Ragweed allergy is a major public health concern. Within Europe, ragweed is an introduced species and research has indicated that the amounts of ragweed pollen are likely to increase over Europe due to climate change, with corresponding increases in ...

Illumina sequencing of the chloroplast genome of common ragweed (Ambrosia artemisiifolia L.). [PDF]
Data Brief, 2017 Common ragweed (Ambrosia artemisiifolia L.) is the most widespread weed and the most dangerous pollen allergenic plant in large areas of the temperate zone. Since herbicides like PSI and PSII inhibitors have their target genes in the chloroplast genome, understanding the chloroplast genome may indirectly support the exploration of herbicide resistance ...

Genetic admixture and heterosis may enhance the invasiveness of common ragweed. [PDF]
Evol Appl, 2017 AbstractBiological invasions are often associated with multiple introductions and genetic admixture of previously isolated populations. In addition to enhanced evolutionary potential through increased genetic variation, admixed genotypes may benefit from heterosis, which could contribute to their increased performance and invasiveness.

Genetic Polymorphisms of Invasive Ambrosia artemisiifolia L. in Localities of Slovakia Accessed by Bet v 1 Homologs Differ in Discrimination of Accessions and Show Their Outcrossing in This Area [PDF]
PlantsAmbrosia artemisiifolia is one of the invasive plants found in Europe. Research into this species is important not only in terms of environmental consequences but also in terms of human health, as it is an allergenic weed.
